The Seven Wonders of the World Wallpapers, Photos and Images

The New Seven Wonders of the World was a project that attempted to update the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World concept with a modern list of wonders. A popularity poll was led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation based in Zurich, Switzerland, with winners announced on July 7, 2007 in Lisbon. Unfortunately, Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippines was no longer included from the list. But anyway, cheers to the winners!
